Schneider chat room - Closed see new thread linked in the last post

Yeah, Gary. And I totally ended up not regretting my decision when I was putting my load into the dryer and said person still hadn't been back yet.

 

I hope they do that or come up with some kind of App so I can check remotely.

Here's the message they have in the first link on the left side of the main page of Crossroads. There's a link at the bottom to the survey.

I live an hour from where I park. Driving all the way there on Monday morning only to find out it's going to be 6 hours before they give me an assignment tends to piss me off. My DBL also doesn't particularly like it because I then go in the office and sit right next to him and keep asking until I get an assignment.

If I could check from home or get a text when something comes in I could save my self a lot of time. Would also be nice for those times when they send a message at 10PM when My truck has been off for 2-3 hours and the QC is off. Had one last night and didn't see it until 1230AM.

Have a load right now. Goes ~200 miles from PU to DL. Picked up at 1800 today. Can't deliver until 0600 on Monday at the earliest. Called support shift and asked if I could get it relayed. They said sure give us a call from the shipper and we'll get it set up. Drove 45 minutes up to the shipper. When I called they said nope too bad. We have you on another assignment already after that and you would be too far from the next pickup if we let you relay it. Told me to use the time to take a 34. I don't do 34s. I run 7-9 hour days to avoid having to take 34s. I can still cover 400-500 miles in that time. Not to mention that between the time I arrived in Indy tonight and the time I would have to leave Monday morning for on time delivery and pickup of the next load is only 27 hours. Asked them how I am supposed to get 34 hours into 27. Planner said I don't know, I guess you don't get a 34 either then.

I did get a message earlier today about using my free time during a soft weekend to do my 3rd quarter sustainment. Ok, so I've now made use of 1 hour of my 27 hour break. Also, I can do it while watching a #### movie so it doesn't really matter.

 

I wish people would just pay attention to how long the tings take and either watch a clock or set an alarm on their phone. The washers take 40-45 minutes and the dryers take 60 minutes if set to the max. I have had plenty of times as well were I found all the washers sitting there for several hours straight packed with other's clothing.

I wouldn't feel bad either about removing somebody's clothes if it had been too long. Especially since you put them in a dryer for them. If anything they should be thanking you for taking care of them.

I did accidentally leave my stuff in a dryer for 6 hours at Carlisle once. I put it in there and went out to my truck. Was tired and passed out pretty quickly. Didn't intend to do it. At least there's usually extra dryers compared to the number of washers.

 

Yep Razororange, Ive got the same thing going on right now. Picked up a relayed load today from the salt lake operating center going to rancho cucamonga california. A decent 640 mile load, other then the fact that my delivery appointment isnt until 1100 on tuesday.... Guess I can also do that 3rd quarter sustainment training in my spare time also, lol.

 

Go up to fuel desk and tell them. They'll announce it over pa. Probably to busy watching NCIS

You can call support. And if they don't verify nat and make sure its correct.

Either that or Law and Order

 

Yeah, what's up with the NCIS/Law and Order crap that's always on? Ugh, and Fox News, especially in the Gary cafeteria.

 

Hey FEMALE..those were my dun 'dhere undies, could you have folded them for me too?

 

So far Schneider for me is top notch, im in Green Bay Bulk for oreintation, had a mishap saturday i fell off from top of tanker to the ground, ended up in ER sore back,bruised tailbone,bruised heel and sprain. The trainers have been great and other students had come up and got me things such as food icy- hot packs and today another trainer showed up at my door with lunch wich was awesome, i told him it was not needed, i really feel good how they are taking care of me and want whats best for my health, big ty to Brett, Howard,Gus, just hope the higher ups will let me continue working for Schneider in Dry Van will find out more Monday, but i feel good about my choice with Schneider.
